Grounds for removal: “I grew up in this neighborhood,” said Mike Steele, right, of Cannon Hill Industries, a demolition contractor, during a demolition of old homes, including this rental house, in the Fort Grounds area of Coeur d’Alene on Thursday. Two adjacent rentals on North Park Avenue will be torn down next week. The houses are owned by the Lake City Development Corporation, the city’s urban renewal agency, which is clearing the land near City Park for redevelopment in the Four Corners master plan process. Six remaining rental houses will be demolished, but no dates have been set for that demolition.
